On the trail in the Hawkeye State, Anita Perry says her husband needs “to spend a lot more time in Iowa.” Argues the debates prevent candidates from meeting voters “face to face.”

Mrs. Perry: “The disadvantage is that you can’t get out and you can’t meet the people, the retail politicking that you need to do and the one-on-one, which I think it really important. I think that’s one of Rick’s strengths is he’s a great retail politician and he loves meeting people face to face.”
